Summary: AN INTRIGUING HISTORICAL PUZZLE
Comment: Looking through a scarred footlocker that belonged to his late father, law professor Robert Kirman finds a photograph of an attractive young woman and two small children. There is also a letter, written on fragile stationery headed by the name Martina Baroness von Egloffsberg.

Intrigued by what he has found, Kirkman leaves Alabama for Communist East Germany in order to piece together this historical puzzle. The woman who wrote the letter is now an elderly baroness, a member of an aristocratic once powerful German family. In addition to finding the woman, Kirkman finds mystery, romance, and political intrigue. The reader finds a compelling story of two families and their respective countries.

Currently a University of Virginia law professor, D. J. Meador once served an as assistant general in the U.S. Department of Justice. Blind himself, Meador brings special awareness to Wolfgang, the blind son of the baroness.

Summary: A wonderful, engaging, mezmerizing work.
Comment: This is one of the best books I've ever read, fiction or nonfiction. In fact, it captures the best of both worlds in a way that neither category can match alone.

As with most first-time fiction authors, the work is highly autobiographical. I had Mr. Meador for two classes plus a research project in law school, and there is a lot of him here. Mr. Meador is a genteel, intellectually honest and capable person, and all of those qualities permeate the book.

He tells a compelling story containing many layers. If you have an interest in history, and if you enjoy reading about a good spiritual journey, then you will love this book. I will not reveal the plot, but there are segments where the protagonist is (perhaps) dreaming that will mezmerize you.

To close, this is a great book by a great man. Read it.
